Australia has been occupied by its Indigenous population (the Aborigines) for at least 50,000 years. The mode of life and material cultures of Australia's original occupants varied greatly from region to region. While Torres Strait Island populations were agriculturalists who supplemented their diet through the acquisition of wild foods, the Indigenous Australians were hunter-gatherers, who boasted a sophisticated tool kit and outstanding knowledge of the land on which they lived. The face of Australia changed dramatically with British settlement, where it became a nation comprised of British convicts and free settlers.
Australia quickly grew from its penal colony past to develop itself into one of the most popular nations on earth. A country that inhabits an entire continent, Australia is probably the most unique part of our world. After splitting off from the Pangea millions of years ago, Australia managed to gain some of the most unique and interesting animals in the world. From the Kangaroo to the Koala, the land down under is seen as a place of adventure and exploring. From Uluru to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia has many natural wonders that are must-sees. But it is the people, with their laid back, larrikin attitudes to life which make this far-off place seem like a second home. __________ This description has been edited by 9 people.

Shane, my boyfriend and I flew into Hobart from Sydney, we hired our rental car and made our way down to Kettering, a small town built around a quiet bay, this is where the ferry to Bruny Island leaves from. We enjoyed a quiet lunch in a resteraurant overlooking the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and Bruny Island before boarding the ferry for Bruny Island. A short 15 minute ferry ride later we were disembarking onto the picturesque Island. We had one night booked in Mavista Cottages, near the town...

Back once again! This is my fourth visit to Sydney on my trip, but it just keeps getting better and better. What a city; the weather, the harbour, the coast, I'm constantly falling in love here.

I love flying and one of the things I love most about flying is what I see out the window of the plane. This is some of what I saw on my way from Hobart to Sydney, some very pretty scenery. I flew out of Hobart where the clouds streaked across the sky, and I got a great views of Mount Wellington with Hobart spread out along its base and along the shores of the Derwent River. I couldn’t quite see my place, but could see the bay near my home as well as the building where I w...

Our first pit stop today was the Taroona Shot Tower. I visited here a couple of months ago and wrote a blog about it then, so won't write a lot about it here, except to say, dad climbed to the top while I waited at the base and took a few photos.
